Maybe some parents should take them home for a little hickory switch therapy... Or is that something that stopped with my generation?

Capt Dwayne Conyers - Never used a switch, my son and grandson both felt my hand on their backsides at least twice, one swat both times. When your feet come off the floor from the swat, you tend to rethink what you did. Voice discipline afterwards was just as effective.

For too many years many children have not been taught that there are consequences for your actions, good when you do good, bad when you do bad. While forgiveness is warranted, simply removing the post and apologizing to the Kirkland team did not cause the team, staff or parents to suffer any consequences. I applaud Little League for sticking by their guns and principles, especially in this time of so much political correctness. One of the sadder facets s that when some of these girls might be considered in later years for college scholarships this incident will now be a permanent scar on what might have otherwise been an outstanding life; at that point we will see who is forgiving and who is not. Hopefully all involved learned a much needed lesson in decorum.

I'm normally against the PC police, but this seems to violate established rules of conduct concerning sportsmanship.
